Fox 11: Rodgers throws 2 TDs as Packers beat Jaguars 24-15

The Green Bay blowout just about everyone had expected never materialized.

Aaron Rodgers connected with Donald Driver for a 4-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter, Mason Crosby made up for an earlier miss with a 25-yard field goal and Green Bay escaped with a surprisingly tough 24-15 victory Sunday over the NFL's worst team, the Jacksonville Jaguars.

A tired-looking Packers team is relieved to have escaped with a 24-15 win against a Jaguars team no one expected to be driving for a potential game-winning touchdown with five minutes left to play in the game.

Looking ahead to the bye? Took the now 1-6 Jaguars lightly? Too many injuries to overcome? They were all theories that were posed as questions in Sunday’s postgame press conferences. McCarthy three times rejected the notion that injuries were at the root of the Packers’ ineffectiveness on offense.
